This invention relates to a device for housing an article having permanent magnetism, and the device illustrated herein is specifically adapted for magnetic medical applica- 5 tors, known as normalizers.

Permanent magnets loose their magnetic energy, if the magnetic lines are allowed to stray. The present invention contemplates a shell of magnetic material to'encompass a lo cradle for a magnetized appliance in which the latter may be stored and retained so as to maintain its alinement with respect to the shell and thereby retain its polar relation thereto.

It is an object of this invention to provide a. cradle having a bed for the magnet and an encompassing shell of magnetic material forming an enclosure ranging from the north to the south poles of the magnet or the 2 corresponding polar position of the bed.

These objects together with other objects and corresponding accomplishments are obtained by means of the embodiment of my in vention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a cradle for housing two magnetized applicators; and

Fig. 2 is a section as seen onthe line 22 of fieferring more particularly to the drawings, a. bed of non-magnetic material, such as wood is indicated by 5. In the bed are cavities 6 and 7 conforming in shape to applicators 6 and 7 The applicators shown are elongated in shape and each comprise a permanent magnet extending in the direction of elongation. The applicators are circular in transverse section having an enlarged circular base and a body with an enlarged mid-section. The cradle is intended to be placed within a box having a hinged cover, not shown. Secured to and encompassing the bed is a band 8 of magnetic material. This band may be of iron, perforate or imperforate or may be of some special magnetic material. It is so disposed with relation to the cavities that the band or shell ranges from pole to pole. The band serves to retain the magnetic field of the applicators and acts as a keeper. A fabric such as velvet may cover the band and cradle as indicated by 9 to enhance its appearance.

It will be understood that the bed maybe made of any non-magnetic material such as encompassing shell ofmagnetic material secured to said bedranging from pole to pole of said cavity. i i 2. A magnetic keeper cradle comprising a .bed having a cavity conforming to the shape of a magnetized article to be housed, and an endless encompassing band of magnetic ma terial secured to said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole.

3. A magnetic keeper cradle comprising a bed having an elongated cavity conforming to the shape of a magnetized article to be housed, and an endless band of magnetic material bordering said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole.

4. A magnetic keeper cradle comprising a bed of non-magnetic material having a cavity conforming to the shape of a magnetized article to be housed and an encompassing shell of magnetic material secured to said bed ranging from pole to pole of said cavity.

5. A magnetic keeper cradle comprising a bed of non-magnetic material having a cavity conforming to the shape of a magnetized article to be housed, and an endless encompassing band of magnetic material secured to said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole.

6. A magnetic keeper cradle comprising a bed of non-magnetic material having an elongated cavity conforming to the shape of a magnetized article to be housed, and an endless band of magnetic material bordering said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole.

7. The combination of a magnetized article, a magnetic keeper cradle for said article com-, prising a bed having a cavity conforming to the shape of said article and in which the latter rests, and an encompassing shell of magnetic material secured to said bed and ranging from pole to pole of said cavity.

8. The combination of a magnetized article, a magnetic keeper cradle for said article comprising a bed having a cavity conforming to the shape of said article and in which the latter rests, and an endless encompassing band of magnetic material secured to said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole. 1

9. The combination of an elongated magnetized article, a magnetic keeper cradle for said article comprising a bed having a cavity conforming to the shape of said article and in which the latter rests, and an endless band of magnetic material bordering said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole.

10. The combination of a magnetized article, a magnetic keeper cradle for said article comprising a bed of non-magnetic material having a cavity conforming to the shape of said magnet and in which the latter rests, and an encompassing shell of magnetic material secured to said bed and ranging from pole to pole of said cavity.

11. The combination of a magnetized article, a magnetic keeper cradle comprising a bed having a cavity conforming to the shape of said article and in which the latter rests, and an endless encompassing band of magnetic material secured to said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole.

12. The combination of a magnetized article, a magnetic keeper cradle for said magnet comprising a bed of non-magnetic material having an elongated cavity conforming to the shape of said article and in which the latter rests, and an endless band ofmagnetic material bordering said bed and ranging around said cavity from pole to pole.

In Witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 5th day of November, 1928.
